The Wonder of Creation {Review and Giveaway}

Kathie Phillips

I’m reviewing another devotional for kids – this time, it’s science-themed!

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Well-known for his powerful messages about science and the Bible, Louie Giglio has a passion for inspiring kids to notice, enjoy, and be in awe of God’s creation. In The Wonder of Creation, children will find new delight in God’s creativity with 100 devotions that explore:

  • Animals–from honeyguide birds to flying snakes to white rhinos
  • Space–from black holes to volcanic moons to gamma-ray bursts
  • People–from optical illusions to brain freezes to our immune systems
  • Earth–from rainbow rivers to blue lava to flowing glaciers

And much, much more!

With engaging illustrations and striking photography, this fun and informative book is ideal for children ages 6–10. Each of the 100 devotions features a scientific fact or an easy activity for exploring faith, a short Bible verse, and a closing prayer. With a brightly embossed cover and a ribbon bookmark, The Wonder of Creation:

  • Is ideal for science-loving kids, Bible-loving kids, and any child ready to go deeper in faith.
  • Continues a well-loved devotional series that has sold more than half a million copies.
  • Makes a great addition to a homeschool STEM curriculum or a bedtime reading routine.

As kids dive into this awe-inspiring devotional, they’ll be amazed at the many wonders God has made!

MY THOUGHTS

As I have reviewed several devotionals for elementary-age children recently, one thing I’m noticing is that the themes are really broad enough to capture the attention of a wider range of readers. It seems like there’s a thematic devotional for kids to suit many different interests. This is a great way to engage kids who may not like to read or who may like to read material that isn’t too ‘churchy’.

I also love that the book comes with a downloadable parent discussion guide to help parents facilitate faith conversations at home.

If you have a science lover in your life, this is a resource you should check out and recommend!

Roar Like a Lion {Review and Giveaway}

Kathie Phillips

One of the questions I’m asked the most by parents at my church is, “I’m looking for a good devotional for [my elementary-aged child]. Do you have any suggestions?” I have a short list of favorites that I often recommend. Sadly, the list is short because I don’t often come across ones that I like. I was recently asked to take a look at Levi Lusko’s new devotional for kids called Roar Like a Lion, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

With eye-catching art, fascinating stories and facts, Bible verses and prayers,and simple action steps, this 90-day devotional will help your kids approach both fun moments and tough times with their hearts set on God’s faithfulness.

Roar Like a Lion covers highly relevant topics such as:

  • Facing fears about school and friendships
  • Dealing with peer pressure and bullying
  • Handling new challenges, disappointments, and grief
  • Having courage to try something new
  • Understanding how we each fit into God’s great story
Roar Like a Lion

MY THOUGHTS

The first thing that jumped out to me about this book was the vibrant colors. It’s visually appealing and will definitely draw children in. I love that once you open the book, the content is just as appealing. I love the Bible verses that were chosen – they are easy to understand and make God’s Word come to life.

One of my favorite parts of the book is the “Did You Know” section. It gives kids more to think about by sharing fun facts and historical elements that tie in to each devotional.

I would have loved if a question or 2 for the kids to answer about what they’ve read was included. I think providing such prompts could help them apply and reflect upon each devotional’s content.

Elementary-age kids will enjoy this resource, but I think 2nd-4th graders will devour its contents.
